Electrical
Power Supply and Motor
Specifications
The AC motor used in this saw is a universal,
nonreversible type (see Motor in the Specifica-
tions section on page 8).
To avoid electrical hazards,
fire hazards, or damage to the machine, use
proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired
at the factory for 120V operation. Connect to
a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 amp time
delay fuse or circuit breaker. If power cord is
worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire.
Electrical Requirements
This machine is double insulated to provide a
double thickness of insulation between the user
and the machine's electrical system. All exposed
metal parts are isolated from the internal metal
motor components with protective insulation.
This saw has a plug that looks like the one
shown in Figure A.
Figure A
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this saw
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way; if the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insulation does not take the place of
normal safety precautions when operating this
tool.
To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when
servicing a tool with double insulation.
Servicing should be performed by a qualified
technician.
2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp
locations or expose them to rain or snow.
Extension Cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your machine will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in the line voltage
resulting in power loss and overheating. The
table below shows the correct size to use
depending on the cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Cord Length AWG
0 0 – 25ft 0 16
2 5 – 50ft 0 14
Important: Make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded. If you are not
sure, have a registered electrician check the
receptacle.
